Rob L Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Started up my 2014RT yesterday and ran her through the gears. Never left the centerstand. Warmed her up and covered her back up. Tomorrow is March and there is no sign of spring yet. My patience has reached its end........ Link to comment
ltljohn Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I feel your pain. It is supposed to get near 50 here next week, but no riding with all the salt and sand on the roads. Pothole season is upon us, I expect a bumper crop this year. Link to comment
Railbender Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 It got up to a balmy 16 degrees so I fired up my Ural Patrol and went for a ride this afternoon. If I hadn't it would have been the first month in several years I didn't ride at least once. Link to comment
Guest Kakugo Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 7°C when I left home this morning. It was 10°C on top of the local twisties. Spring is on schedule here: problem is if it behaves like the past few years April and May will be awful and really cold. Regarding those potholes... here it has been the season since 2001. It's not the cold weather, but complete lack of maintenance that's destroying our roads. I need to head over to Spain to give my shock absorbers a rest. Link to comment

Tomorrow is March and there is no sign of spring yet. My patience has reached its end........ Hi Rob, I have learned not to sit on seat nor stand on pegs when do that. Just stand next to it. Less anxiety that way. Dave Link to comment

flat_twin Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Why start it at all? (unless you just enjoy a good tease!) Roads in central Ohio are white with new snow as I type this. Basta!!!!! Link to comment
